Ingredients

• 2 pounds Porterhouse steak, bone-in
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons Capers, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Take the Porterhouse steak out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade generously over both sides of the Porterhouse steak. Allow the steak to rest in the marinade while you prepare the grill.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to high heat. If using charcoal, ensure it's hot and glowing; if using a gas grill, preheat to approximately 500°F.

Step 5

While the grill heats, prepare the Tuscan herbed butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, finely chopped capers, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Step 6

Place the steak on the preheated grill. For a medium-rare finish, grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the cut. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.

Step 7

Remove the steak from the grill and rest it on a cutting board, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Top the warm steak with the prepared Tuscan herbed butter, allowing it to melt into the meat. Slice the steak off the bone, portion it as desired, and serve immediately.
